Fish and Useful Baits at Lake Susquehanna
Fish reported from Lake Susquehanna include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.
Bass
For Lake Susquehanna largemouth, use a shallow crankbait or swim jig to locate fish, then slow down with a jig or soft plastic.
Crappie, Perch and Sunfish
For Lake Susquehanna crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Lake Susquehanna are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Lake Susquehanna are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.
Chain Pickerel
For Lake Susquehanna pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.
A Simple Fishing Plan for Lake Susquehanna

When to Fish Lake Susquehanna
